Parent article: Blaming Fedora

This problem isn't exactly unique to Fedora (says the Debian developer. :-)

For clued in users, the best thing to do is check the BTS and if the issue isn't documented, file a bug. It's a legitimate bug report if OOo is missing $FEATURE due to nonfree code having been removed. Maybe the bug can't be fixed without reimplementing some code. It's a legitimate (wishlist) bug report if emacs is missing tetris.

Even if these bugs never get fixed, having them in the BTS provides a place to document why not, avoids repeat bugs from clued in users, provides an easy place to point non-clued users at when they complain, and provides an quick overview of such issues that clued in users can look over before using a peice of software.
